Poured into a Celebrator pokal. Not absolutely sure this is the Efes pilsner. It came in a squat 500 ml bottle that only says "Efes Beer". The ABV is correct and it appears to be a light pilsner type adjunct beer. Pours a light golden amber with a thin white head that dissipaters quickly to a ring around the glass. Light aroma of biscuit and grassy malt, hint of hops and corn sweetness. Taste is very light biscuit malt, slightly sweet with a faint wisp of hops in the finish. No off flavors, but very attenuated flavor. Light bodied with nice carbonation. This would be adequate if nothing else was available, but otherwise a typical mass produced bland commercial beer. I hope I can try something a little more exciting from Turkey next time. An unexciting, but drinkable beer.

A: The beer is crystal clear light straw yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high bright white head that died down, leaving lacing on the surface and a thick ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light aromas of floral hops in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of bready malts along with hints of floral hops, the latter of which also contributes a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels a bit more than light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. There are slight hints of dryness in the finish.
O: I was pleasantly surprised by this beer since it’s a relatively good German pilsener from Turkey. I wouldn’t mind drinking this beer again sometime.

Pours a pale straw colour with a rather generic, sweet, inoffensive nose. The beer itself is surprisingly flavourful and tangy, slightly bubblegummy, with enough hop strength to feel like a proper beer. Not outstanding but much better than I had anticipated.
